I'm not sure if its the same "autodiscover", but if you're seeing HTTP get /
put to autodiscover as a hostname, then its probably the microsoft mail
autodiscover protocol.
That is document in MS-OXDISCO and MS-OXDSCLI specs, which you can download off
MSDN. The first spec shows how to find what the query location is, and the other
shows the XML blobs you send / parse. See
http://tracker.openchange.org/projects/openchange/wiki/Autodiscover_investigation
for an example.
So you can probably make your DNS and web server create the right XML blob for
whatever configuration you'd like to give to the client (assuming that the
client is something that knows how to do the microsoft autodiscover protocol).
